McGuire Theater
Non-members: $25
Walker members: $21

Spend an evening with one of the most enigmatic and celebrated singer-songwriters of the last decade. Oldham’s atmospheric art-folk is borne of an Appalachian netherworld finding its glimmer and glow through gentle guitars, lush harmonies, shimmering folk-tronics, and elegies that slide between spare and sly, lovely and lonely, beautiful and bucolic. A rare live performance by one of today’s most prolific and fiercely creative artists.

Just for those keeping score, these shows are the Thursday during SXSW unfortunately, so if you plan on going next year, you’re SOL for seeing Will at the Walker. Will’s last show in the Twin Cities was at in-store at Roadrunner in 2006, and before that i believe 2001, so he doesn’t get around these parts too often.

Graham Coxon is no longer supporting Franz Ferdinand, but The Delays are!!!

They put out one of my favorite albums (not to mention debuts) all year, and now I finally get to see them live, I can’t wait! I actually was not planning on going to this show, but I can’t miss it now. I dig The Futureheads record as well, so all is good.

now i just need to go to The Quest and pick up a ticket for $16.50, no way in hell i’m paying any of that $28.50 for ONE FUCKING $17 TICKET on Ticketbastard.
